ATA Plus was one of the pioneer players in the Malaysian equity crowdfunding (ECF) space in 2016, and it has witnessed the growing popularity of ECF even during the pandemic. Following its partnership with Nasdaq-listed GreenPro Corp, ATA Plus is setting its sights beyond ECF in its mission to democratize financing. We discuss the company’s performance and future plans with CEO and co-founder Elain Lockman, as well as policy measures to help mainstream ECF as a viable funding alternative for Malaysian entrepreneurs.
